Chef's Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, lightly toast the pita bread before filling. You can also add a pinch of dried oregano to the tuna salad for more Mediterranean aroma.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried dill. Canned salmon can be used instead of tuna. For a dairy-free option, omit the feta cheese or use a plant-based feta alternative.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover tuna salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It is best to fill the pita pockets just before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
